    <title>Description</title>

    <para><function>sd_bus_reply_method_return()</function> sends a reply to the
    <parameter>call</parameter> message. The type string <parameter>types</parameter> and the
    arguments that follow it must adhere to the format described in
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_append</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    If no reply is expected to <parameter>call</parameter>, this function succeeds without sending a
    reply.</para>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Return Value</title>

    <para>On success, this function returns a non-negative integer. On failure, it returns a
    negative errno-style error code.</para>
